In this interview, we sit with a behemoth in the Islamic Finance industry Ruggiero Lomonaco. He goes through his story; from humble beginnings as an average Italian guy to coming to Islam to witnessing what would become the boom of global Islamic banking. We definitely need a part two.

About us
We're Ibrahim & Mohsin - ex-city lawyers and authors of "Halal Investing for Beginners". We've been studying investments and the traditional Islamic sciences for 13+ years. Over the year we've been published by the Financial Times, the World Economic Forum, Foreign Policy etc.

Today we run a sharia-compliant wealth management platform that manages over $35m in assets. We make videos about investment, personal finance, careers, and entrepreneurship.

We do this to make downtrodden communities better-off. To take people of colour, Muslims, and minorities from being among the poorest in society to the richest.
